Blakes
latest is his debut on the fast-growing Big Stir Records label roster. Yeah,
but what kind of music do you play? Blake Jones has been fielding that
question for quite a while. So much so,
in fact, that he penned a song with that particular question as its title. And the answer? Our sound could best be
described as indie rock for people who like The Beatles, says Jones, but also
as artsy pop. Its very melodic. Trying
to describe Blake
Jones & The Trike Shopismuch easier said than done. Blake describes his music as Art-infected pop Mad pop inventions.One thing is certain though - MAKE is one
of the more interesting albums youll likely hear this year.Veering in direction from pop to psyche to
novelty, theres a lot here to digest. In
spite of this, theres a continuity to it all that makes it feel like a single,
well thought out work.An immediate
favorite, My Soft Rock Girlfriend is quirky but extremely relatable. Hard
Pan Hard Land is not only a terrific pop song, it shows Blake to be one
helluva vocalist. Ever wonder what the theme to Goldfingerwould sound like if it were performed
by swarming bees? Of course you have.
Well, wonder no more! His cover of this
classic is sure to make you smile.Wednesday may remind some of the Green Pajamas while giving us a great psych-pop
tune to further enhance our listening experience. My Girl (Brings Me Colors)
blows through like a cool summer breeze, bringing us right back to where we
started.This record is thoughtful,
humorous and just plain bizarre at times. That said, MAKE is a roller coaster
ride well worth taking.  Rich Rossi/PowerPopNews.comEXCELLENT!!
